What would most usually happen would be that the rock would under-go something called metamorphism. This is when such natural forces- air, wind, rain, snow, etc.- would interfer with the growing & changing of the rock. E.g.- Sedimentary rock forms when sediment gets compacted & cemented together. If the rock does not get cemented together the "sediment" stays, well, sediment. The only way it could change is if metamorphism were to change its chemical composition, etc.
